Just a little update. Went on a snowboarding trip this past weekend. Four people in the car, gear, and a roof rack with a snowboard and skis. Cruising on the highway ~80, got 18.X mpg. Took off the roof rack after I got home, most recent tank got 22.5mpg. Crazy difference.

Here are the numbers. It's on a mustang dyno, and one of the lowest MD's around.

Just realized I haven't updated this for over a month. Some new goodies have been added. I'll update when I have more time, but here is a video of my first time out on a track. It was a bunch of fun!

So I went to the drag strip awhile back. First time there, car is still on the stock clutch. Didn't launch it, wouldn't go into 4th gear. Tried a second pass, and same thing. Driving around it would go into 4th, and doing a little 3-4 pull on the highway worked fine, but then the clutch started slipping in 5th. Looks like it was time to upgrade.

I ended up going with a Comp Stage 2 and stuck with the stock flywheel. Just want to say thanks to Joe (MitsuJoe) and Mike for doing a clutch job on short notice. I had two weeks from the time the clutch went out to get a new one, and break it in before I had a scheduled track day. Didn't end up going to the track day, but that's another story (just ask bnr34rb26dett)
